Extended description

Last Chance - a small town set on the edge of the far frontier. It is a place of gentle manners and common civility. After all, it should be since more than three quarters of its residents are women. However times change when a Talent Master runs rampant, savages threaten war, and an illegal militia from an alternate universe plans invasion and empire. A hero is needed. A Savior. Meet Aaron Turner, the small unassuming man who runs the Last Chance General Store. He is this town's--this world's--only hope. Unfortunately for the town, Aaron also happens to be a soldier and Militia spy whose job is to prepare the ground for the Militia's invasion. To help him with this task, he has a cellar filled with advanced weaponry and the unique ability to teleport between the two worlds. However after a year of living within Last Chance, Aaron is no longer sure in which direction his loyalties lie.

Review by: Ben Wall on April 04, 2013 : star star star star star
I don't want to add any spoilers here, but the simple premise is Aaron Turner can transfer worlds with a thought. He goes from a 22nd century world to a 19th century one with slightly different rules.

I've got to say that the concept of someone being able to transfer between worlds just with a thought was interesting, but this story doesn't stop there. I loved hearing how the protagonist uses his knowledge from the "old world" in his new one. You get wrapped up in his wishes, dreams and even his foibles and faults. I enjoyed the story via podcast so I was able to listen to the author give voice to his characters. If you listen the first episode or three are a little rough, but you can tell that Mark gets the hang of reading and recording quickly and things smooth out.

Give it a read or a listen (http://podiobooks.com/title/traitor-book-1-of-the-turner-chronicles/)

That was the fastest-seeming 967 page book ever. I loved it. It's sci-fi meets pioneer days with a twist of fantasy, and he did an excellent job combining the best of all things. The characters are flawed and wonderful and fascinating, and he evokes vivid imagery without being wordy or overly descriptive.

I can't believe this book was free, to be honest - I downloaded it from Barnes & Noble and I've already purchased the second one. Really well done. And, for some reason I cannot identify, it reminds me of Joss Whedon's work, particularly Firefly.
